Boo hoo. Maybe if the justices appointed by Democrats didn’t vote for their Leftist ideology 100% of the time, Republicans would be more accommodating. They’ve learned the hard way.

Not after the outrageous obstruction of Judge Merrick Garland’s nomination for 10 full months by Senate Republicans.

In other words, the LA Times editorial board believes Gorsuch should not be nominated because it's throwing a temper tantrum after Republicans followed the Biden rule. Tough bananas - Gorsuch will be confirmed. Hopefully his rulings will warrant his nomination by a conservative president and the LA Times will continue to rue the day he was confirmed.

I think I’ve reached the point where I would not be averse to letting CA, OR, WA and any other state secede. I am that sick of them. But I hate to give them anything other than a one way ticket to the Mid-Atlantic ocean.

When droves of businesses and corporations pack up and say "adios" to the Soviet Socialist Republic of California like they're doing in Illinois, the LA Slimes will lose their advertisers...plus their fed-up-with-California readers also.

They will have to change their rag's name to "Los Tiempos".

...in many cases wouldn’t even meet with him — on the hastily fabricated pretext that a president in his final year of office shouldn’t be allowed to name a new justice because … well, it was never really clear what the supposed principle was behind this self-serving position.

Because, Moron Board... (are you ready for it?) It would have been unprecedented! Actually

[morphing libertarian]

what do they want? leave the seat open for 8 years?

[DoughtyOne]

Gorsuch is is.

Pound sand LAT.

[Myrddin]

Assassinating a sitting justice as a way to make a vacant seat is a pretty gross means of stealing a seat. Trying to pack the court with liberals by killing the most conservative justice and offering up a leftist replacement is just beyond sick. The LA Slimes is happy to play along.

Yeah right ...the dems wouldn’t have done the same....sarc/on!!!!

[ViLaLuz]

Yes, Judge Scalia’s seat was stolen when he was murdered.

[Wuli]

What a lie.

If the Dems controlled the Senate, with Trump as president, do you think Gorsuch would have a chance? No. They simply oppose Grosuch because they oppose the strict text of the constitution and strict rule of law that he stands for.

...on the hastily fabricated pretext that a president in his final year of office shouldn’t be allowed to name a new justice...

No, it was fabricated years ago by Joe Biden.
